"He is a fair person, someone that is honest, keeps his word, and I look forward to working with him and his leadership team over the next two years," Alfond said.

Although Democrats lost seats in the House of Representatives, they maintained a majority. Republican Ken Fredette will remain minority leader.

"I think we just got through a very, very tough session where I think Democrats were pretty hard on Republicans -- pretty hard on our governor -- and we think that now it's a time to really come together and work for the people of the State of Maine, but we hope that we're really focusing now on what the important policy is and not playing gotcha politics," Fredette said.

Democrat Mark Eves is expected to remain House speaker when his colleagues return next week.

Eves was asked about potential conflict between his party and LePage.

"It's not my style. Don't want to do it. I think the fighting, the name-calling, the politics, the election is over and we need to governor and that's what people expect us to do and that's what I'm going to do," Eves said.
